La Garde-Freinet is a Provençal village in the Maures massif, surrounded by wooded hills and small roads connecting the towns of the Var. Its old centre, squares and narrow streets offer a glimpse of village life away from the bustle of the coast. The surroundings suit travellers who enjoy walking, discovering local heritage and exploring the hinterland before heading to the beaches of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

Fort Freinet, a medieval remnant on the heights, makes a rewarding hiking destination and offers views of the surrounding hills. In the village, Saint-Clément Church and Saint-Jean Chapel bear witness to local history. Grimaud offers more to explore, including its medieval castle and Pont des Fées, an old stone structure associated with the history of water in the region. The Maures wine estates offer another way to discover the landscape. La Môle – Saint-Tropez Airport is 12 km away; Vidauban railway station is 12 km away. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages, trails and coast.

Spring and autumn are good seasons for walks in the massif, when temperatures are milder. In summer, the swimming pool and trips to the Mediterranean can round out your days, while the villages of the hinterland offer an alternative to busy beaches. A day might combine a walk to the ruins of Fort Freinet, a visit to Grimaud’s narrow streets and a stop at a wine estate. The region is also well suited to trips to the coast, with outings planned around the summer heat.
